Not to put a cold shower on it, but it seemed that my test of the Live
Desktop PPC on my iBook G4 last night, which was as soon as I could do it .
. . didn't exactly go well . . . .  And same for Lars N. who also reported
testing an iBook possibly G3 . . . he seemed to also report some "fails."

After 2x clicking on the "install Lubuntu" icon . . . got an error window
and shortly after that the "GUI froze" although I could drag the FF window
I couldn't change tabs and couldn't open any other apps . . . .  Didn't
have time to go to LP and add my name to bug reports, just added my
comments on the iso tracker.  The 04.02 upgrade seemed to actually be going
back to the 14.04 alpha problems we had when testing it then . . . with the
frozen GUI problems.  I used the radeon agp params, GUI was clean
resolution and worked OK for a few minutes . . . I think on the install
adding the xorg.conf file solved the freezing problem . . . .
